Hi
I'm stuck with an Xpath. How can I select child nodes with the same name? The
names are arbitrary. So far I have this, which does not work:
Input
<array>
<item/>
<nope/>
<item>4</item>
<item>5</item>
<wibble/>
<item>six</item>
<wibble>stuff</wibble>
<item>item</item>
<no/>
</array>
Desired output
<array>
<item>4</item>
<item>5</item>
<wibble/>
<item>six</item>
<wibble>stuff</wibble>
<item>item</item>
</array>
Hi,
Define a key:
<xsl:key name="elements-by-name" match="*" use="name()"/>
Tweak that match pattern if needed, then you can do:
<xsl:apply-templates select="array/*[exists(key('elements-by-name',
name())[2])]"/>
cheers
